How many bytes in 2 gig?

Did you mean: 'How can bytes are in 2 GB?'

If you did, the answer is: 2 Billion Bytes, which transforms into 2 Million Kilobytes, then 2000 MB, eventually reaching 2 GB.

1,000,000,000 B = 1,000,000 KB = 1000 MB = 1 GB

2,000,000,000 B = 2,000,000 KB, = 2000 MB = 2 GB

How any GB is 307 MB?

OMG.... This is simple math.... just divide 4072 by 1024....

x MB is equal to x/1024 GB.... in this case:

4072 MB is equal to 3.9765625 GB

What does defragging the registry do?

  • Defragging fixes the spaces left behind on your hard drive and makes it run smoother. For example, every time you save something to your hard drive it is put at a certain address so your computer can find it later. If you then delete that data, it leaves an empty space on the hard drive where the data used to be. What defragging does is to close all the spaces and move all the data together, so that your computer can find it better. You should defrag about once a month.
  • No, that's defragging the whole hard disk and even then that's not what basic defragging does. Defragging the REGISTRY does not involve the entire hard drive, but just the system registry. It essentially consolidates it when keys are deleted or altered. As far as a noticeable difference, you will not see one.

    Defragging the HARD DISK on the other hand involves consolidating fragments. When data is saved to a hard disk, it will saved scattered sometimes. The data from one file could be in fragments all over the hard disk. Imagine reading a book where the paragraphs that would be on one page are scattered at random intervals. This would take a lot longer to read with all the jumping around. When you defrag the HARD DRIVE, those fragments are brought together to decrease read time. Hence the term, "defragment". So basically, you can have all the spaces you want between the data and still have a minuscule percentage of fragmentation. Fragmentation is caused from writing, not deleting.

    What the original contributor described above is file consolidation or a "space" defrag which is not standard and is usually found as a supplemental option with third-party defrag applications such as O & O. It too can have benefits, but it is not what defragging means and certainly not the REGISTRY as you were inquiring about.

What is port address?

Port addressing is giving different applications a unique port number so data can be forwarded to the correct application

How many bytes is in 1 gigabyte?

well there are

1000 bytes in a kilobyte.

1000 kilobytes in a megabyte.

and 1000 megabytes in a kilobyte.

therefore i would say 3500000000 bytes = 3.5 GB

actually, there are

1024 bytes in a kilobyte

1024 kilobytes in a megabyte

and 1024 megabytes in a gigabyte

therefore 3.5 GB is exactly 3,758,096,384 bytes

How many KB is 2GB?

There are 1024 kilobytes (KB) in one megabyte, and 1024 megabytes in one gigabyte (GB)

So 1024 kilobytes X 1024 megabytes = 1048576 kilobytes in one gigabyte

1048576 kilobytes X 2 = 2,097,152 kilobytes in 2 gigabytes

How do you FTP a file?

You can login to a server and send a file via that userid and server. It depends on your method, via Internet Explorer, you can UPLOAD the file. Via the command line, you can PUT the file to the destination.

How much mega bytes are in a mega hertz?

Hertz is a measure of frequency and in computing it refers to how quickly can something be done inside the CPU (from there derives the expression "Clock Speed"). Bytes are the storage spaces in computing and usually a byte has 8 bits (A bit can be refered as the atom of computing storage, for it is the smallest unit of storage holding up a logical "0" or "1"). in synthesis, there are no bytes in hertz as they relate to different subjects.

How many pictures does a 700 MB CD hold?

It depends on the size of the Pictures. A CD is like any memory device, it has a definitive amount of space to store data. you can store about 700 MB of pictures. If you have a camera that can produce 10 meg pictures then you can put about 70 pictures on that CD. That is a general answer to the question, however in reality pictures taken from a 10 meg camera may be larger or smaller on a disk. A DVD will hold many more pictures and most computers that can read the pictures from a CD can also read them from a DVD. I just did a wedding, lunch, dinner, and dance and I've got 719 pictures and they total 3.7 GB. That's 3,700 MB or 6 Cd's. I should be able to get all of them on a DVD. A DVD can hold 4.7 GB of information. I hoped that cleared things up a little.
